[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I did marry a wonderful man who is super supportive and really into request partnership. He is the cook in our relationship and likes to clean. He said it “ takes away his stress” to do menial tasks. We do have tasks divided based on preference. He is also a very involved father and has really enjoyed being a dad. We are financially stable. He has always out earned by 3x my salary.

I’m not so much worried about equal partnership, as much as his perfection of me. I know that I will most likely be doing more since I’m staying at home. [b]He has always been very proud of me with my career, and I worry that may change. Like he will stop seeing me as this strong, driven woman and more as an assistant or “ just a mom”.[/b] [/quote]

I don't think this will necessarily happen. It didn't to me. In my case, DH thinks our kids are lucky that they have me all to themselves. He's told me that many times.[/quote]

And what happens when the kids are all gone?[/quote]

You know, most of the people on this board are not having kids in their early twenties.  By the time kids are gone, they will probably be close to retirement age anyway.  Keeping up your career so that you have something to do when the kids are out of the house doesn’t make sense when you are having your first child at 38.  [/quote]

+1 Also, you can save a lot of money in your working years if you have a decent job. I'm the PP who tried for 7 years to have a kid. I was 40 when I left my job. My kid is 13 and I don't plan on going back to work. For one thing, no one is going to hire a 50+ yo financial analyst who hasn't been in the office in a decade. Plus, my spouse will be retiring in a couple of years, so we plan on doing some traveling with our teenager before she leaves the nest. [/quote]
